Topomax: an alternative to Lithium therapy

Hello everyone! I've been on Topomax for 11 days now. Currently, I'm at 75 mg. daily. Started off at 25mg. b.i.d. From what I've read so far, this change in dosage may be ocurring a bit quick. Side effects are that of the norm. I also take Wellbutrin 150 mg. b.i.d. & I am titrating down from Lithium, which I have been on for the last 5 years. Lithium really does the trick for me in terms of keeping me somewhat close to the grey zone, but, sadly, I have gained a considerable amount of weight, which doesn't seem to budge no matter what method I approach. So here I am. I am seeing a new shrink, who has prescribed Topomax & Wellbutrin, increasing the Topomax next week to 100mg., following week 150 mg.,...200mg., 300mg.,... 400mg. This concerns me greatly. Any comments?
